Let's start with the important stuff - how difficult was it kissing Oliver James in this movie?
HD: It wasn't! He's so cute. I liked working with him a lot. It's a little awkward, because I can only be on set for ten-and-a-half hours a day or the union gets called and we get shut down, and we literally had seven minutes to shoot that scene. So everyone was running around with their heads cut off, and I was a little bit nervous and I could tell that he was nervous, too. It was weird. And all these people were staring at us and we had to just get it done. I was sitting there a little bit nervous, because I'm about to kiss a guy that I kind of just met. But it was okay and it was very professional. He's really cute, so it made it easy.

What was it about this character that made you really want to play her?
HD: I think what I loved so much about it was that, you know, even with the tragedy that happened in this girl's life[her brother died in a car accident], she really chose to persevere through it and still follow her dream. But it's difficult for her - when she got to this school, she still had all this other stuff on her mind and nobody made her feel welcome there at all. And she stuggled so much and it was very hard for her, but she still challenged herself at her dreams and her goals to want to become a better writer and singer and learn more about her craft. And I think that was really cool and really inspiring - especially for other people that have something they want to do. Even without her parents consent, she followed her dream and she grew as a person and learned more about herself.

How is this important in relation to your own life?
HD: I feel you can listen to any type of music and relate to it, no matter what, and apply it to your life. It may be somebody else's voice, but different music can connect to different emotions you're feeling. When you write, it's an even better feeling, because when I write music, I know that I say things in my music that I wouldn't necesssarily sit here and say to you, because I might be scared or might not want people to know or I might be embarrased. When I put that into my music, it provides answers that people can listen to and, hopefully, relate to. It should be important in everybody's lives. And also in school, even if it's playing instruments and not necessarily writing or singing.
